That was not a Hahn quote, that was the reporters own comment and it is based off nothing other than the fact that Machado has not accepted the White Sox offer.

I would love to believe that the White Sox have signed Manny and are waiting until SoxFest to announce it but it doesn't make much sense. If they really have signed him that would want to announce it before SoxFest in order to get more people to go.

I don't think Manny is wearing a Sox hat however the fact that Alonso and his son are already repping Sox hats in front of Machado is a good sight.

If the White Sox were willing to spend "record breaking" money on Bryce then the better play would just be offering more to Manny than they currently have. Record breaking money would also be able to get us Manny.

Look at Cease's numbers last year in AA, he dominated. Unless he takes a step back he will be up this year.

Why would they have met with him then if they were never "in" on Machado?

Another nobody. I'm not falling for this again.

Some have suggested the longer it goes on the better it is looking for the Sox but I am of the opposite opinion. The longer it goes on the more it seems Manny really wants to go to NY and is just waiting for the Yankees to make a good offer he could accept.

With the jersey's up?

I did an advanced search on twitter that allowed me to search for terms in a specific date. I could find no reference to Wellington to the White Sox in November 2017 prior to his tweet. https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&q=castillo white sox since%3A2017-11-01 until%3A2017-11-24&src=typd

The question is did he steal this info from someone else and pretend it was his own. Does anyone know if there were any other reports of the Castillo signing before Brett posted it? Because looking at some of his recent tweets it seems he often takes "sources" from other twitter accounts and presents them as his own scoops. We need to find out if he was the first to post the Wellington signing.

Another nobody

Too much nonsense being talked in this thread. It is alright when there is a drought of information I guess but now we've had a report of someone affiliated with ESPN claiming Manny to the Yankees.

Went back to his Instagram and see chisoxfanmike already took my advice 😄

I notice on Manny's most recent Instagram post it is filled with Yankee fans telling him to sign with New York. We need some White Sox fans on there so he knows we exist otherwise it is highlighting how much smaller our fanbase is compared the giant that is the Yankees.

But does he specifically have more insight currently about what is going on with the Machado signing? If yes then he hasn't revealed any of that new info.

I'm pretty sure he is basing this on the info we all already know.

I've seen a few comments saying that teams offers are kept secret even from other teams bidding, but why? Why would Machado and his agent want the teams bidding not to know what the offers are. If the teams know the highest offer then that will encourage the ones below that offer to top it with a higher number.

Eloy should be batting 2, 3 or 4 unless he struggles.

I hope they have confirmation that Manny will sign with the Sox if they sign this guy because if they sign him and Manny doesn't sign with us then Hahn is going to look really stupid.

Not even joking Leury is the better option. Leury has had a much better WAR with less games played the past 2 seasons yet somehow the consensus is that Engel is the best option because he makes a couple flashy catchers per year.

Did he delete the tweet?

Well that seems excessive. I've seen much worse "attacks" stay up. It was a joke about his comment being hard to understand not a mean spirited attack for those who are wondering.

Does that mean there is no such thing as black people who are not America, not even in Africa? I am always surprised how many are confused by this. Even many black Americans think blacks in Latin America are some distinctly different racial group. Blacks in Latin America are just black people raised in a hispanic culture, their ancestors are from Africa just like American blacks.
